Things with completely different meanings 12:31 - Dec 1 with 4200 viewsWokingR

A client took me out for a quick breakfast this morning and suggested we pop into the YMCA. Their restaurant is called The Y and outside is a big poster encouraging you to 'Eat at the Y'

Now, to my mind, that means something completely different


Any others ?

When I was growing up, a 'waz' was gratifying yourself. Today apparently it means just a wee.

Also, in Australia 'Manchester' in what they call bedding materials - duvets etc...

A Californian introduced himself once by saying, Hi, I'm Randy.

I didn't shake his hand.

As a favour for a colleague, I reconditioned an old laptop for his elderly sister. She popped by to collect it and I explained all the features and gave her my number and told her to call me if she had any problems with the laptop. She called me later that night saying "I keep pressing this wireless button that you mentioned but I am not getting any stations at all. How do you fix this?"

Whenever we ponce a lift off my parents, before my Dad drives off, my Mum always says, “Have you got your coat/bag/presents? Right, have you got your strap on?”, which always gets a chuckle.

My Dad, being a thoughtful soul, usually has his mobile phone on silent, but vibrating mode for the alarm. My Mum once sat in a restaurant telling the whole family that she woke up that morning “with your Dad thrashing around under the covers, frantically trying to turn his vibrator off”.

Now I think about it there was a UK company bash a couple of years ago and the 70 year old billionaire founder owner and CEO had flown over to join in.

Everyone had dinner, the drinks had been flowing and the dance floor was filling.

The band the house band was knocking out tunes and the CEO walked up to the front with a good looking aide and asked "Can you guys play anything that's good for a shag?"

It turns out that a "shag" is a popular dance in North Carolina....

following on from no 13, we had a cat when I was young, who would go and fetch things like a dog when you threw them. The most common thing thrown was a rubber, whilst I was doing my homework...

I told this story in full innocence to a devout catholic American. the look on his face was priceless...

Why stop now, just when I'm hating it

Around 15 years ago I had a Swedish girlfriend and was invited to dinner at her parents in Stockholm.

As her mum served up the food her dad said: "This is a new meal. She loves the naked cock."

I didn't know what to say. He pointed at a Jamie Oliver book on the sideboard.
